Hi everyone,

I have a Radeon card (2100 part of the RS740 AMD chipset) and it seems I
have some issues with it in the 5.0 release of Trisquel. When kernel
modesetting is enabled I can't switch to virtual consoles (Ctrl+Alt
+F1..F7). All I see is black screen and after a while the monitor
switches off. I can't switch back to Xorg via the keyboard. The only
working option is switching the console over ssh with "sudo chvt 7". 

There is some problem with Totem in fullscreen with KMS enables as well.
It becomes unresponsive and very hard to get out of fullscreen. The time
line and the exit button are not responding, if visible at all. This
happens almost randomly.

With KMS turned off (modest=0 in /etc/modprobe.d/radeon.conf) these
problems are not occurring. Now most of the time everything is fine. 

Sometimes windows widgets disappear and I see either random lines with
similar color, renderings from previous windows (or whatever data was
displayed there) or just horizontally changing colors - red, green
yellow etc. It happens anywhere on the screen. Moving windows around
sometimes refreshes the problem areas. It seems to me this is a memory
leak. I think this happened with and without KMS.

I know this begs to be reported as a bug, but besides the information
I've shared, which is not helpful at all, I can't say anything else that
could at least point in the right direction of the problem.

Anybody with similar problems?
